Minn Kota Ultrex Unboxing and Installation

Ryan DeChaine
Apr 24, 2017

Professional boat rigger Andy Kratochvil of FishLectronics in Pequot Lakes Minnesota takes us through a complete unboxing and installation of the Minn Kota Ultrex. This video, coupled with the manual, will provide you all the info you need for a smooth and clean installation. Andy weaves in several equipment recommendations and installation tips along the way as well. The Ultrex is wildly popular among those that prefer cable steer-style trolling motors similar to the Fortrex, but with faster foot response thanks to power steering. It’s also packed with GPS technology like Spot-Lock with Jog, and additional functionality with Humminbird fish finders too long to list here. Of note, Spot-Lock with Jog works on all boats regardless of fish finder(s) installed.
